November 12th- November 16th
Happy Veterans Day! Today we had a wonderful assembly where students and staff had the chance to honor our veterans! I want to thank Bella's grandpa for serving our country and being a part of our assembly!
Downers Grove Field Trip: The class is looking forward to attending our Downers Grove field trip (11/19), which includes a tour of historical sites, the Downers Grove History Museum, and Giordano's pizza (optional). Field trip permission slips and pizza money is due on Monday, November 12th.
The end of the first trimester will be on Friday, November 16th.
We will not have school on Wednesday, November 21st, Thursday, November 22nd, and Friday, November 23rd due to Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
The Upcoming Week at School:
Social Science: The students have been loving our new science curriculum. Amplify. We will continue our unit titled, Balancing Forces.
Math: We will study unit 3, module 1 on mixed numbers and equivalent fractions. Students will also take a multiplication by 9 test on Thursday, November 15th
Spelling: Students should complete 3 activities from their homework sheet and turn them in on Friday, November 16th, which is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break. Some of activities listed cannot be turned in. Please initial next to the activity name so that I know the activity was completed if needed. The spelling test will also be on Friday, November 16th.
ELA: We will continue the study of myths while looking at the plot elements and character traits. We will also study nouns.
Next week, we will also be working on a writing project pertaining to Thanksgiving. This past Tuesday I sent home a bare turkey. Students need to "disguise" him/her so the farmer lets him go! Students should bring back their disguised turkeys on Monday, November 12th. It is not necessary to buy any crafty items, just use what you have at home. I've seen feathers, beads, googly eyes, cloth, construction paper, and just plain old crayons used. We will complete the writing portion of this project in class.
Things to Remember:Monday 11/12: Turkey disguises are due.
Thursday 11/15:There will be a multiplication by 12 test.
Friday 11/16: The 3 spelling activities are due and there will be a spelling test.
Wednesday 11/21: No School
Thursday 11/22: Happy Thanksgiving!
Friday 11/23: No School
